Copilot AI skills is delivered as a live, half-day session with a bonus hackathon to follow. It is hands-on throughout, with live demos, guided exercises, and practical examples drawn from real roles and scenarios.

Pre-Module:

Tech Check

‍

For those who need it, there is a half hour tech check a week before the main session to make sure you've got the right Copilot license.

‍

Half day course

‍

Module 1:

Getting more done with Copilot in everyday work

‍

This module helps you get immediate value in the places work actually happens: Outlook and Teams.

You will learn how to:

• Reduce inbox overload by summarising and prioritising email threads
• Draft clearer emails faster, with a tone that fits your audience
• Stay on top of meetings with automatic summaries, actions, and follow-ups
• Set up meetings so Copilot can help
• Put this into practice on your own use cases

‍

Module 2:

Working smarter with Copilot for data and content

‍

This module focuses on using Copilot in Excel, Word and PowerPoint for faster analysis and stronger outputs.

You will learn how to:

• Ask questions of your data in plain English to spot trends and outliers
• Create simple charts and summaries without wrestling formulas (still sanity-checking results)
• Draft and refine documents with consistent structure and tone
• Turn notes or an outline into presentation-ready content

‍

Module 3:

Copilot chat as your knowledge navigator

‍

In this session we explore using copilot as a knowledge aggregator. You'll learn to extract patterns and project-wide insights rather than focusing on localised file edits.

You will learn how to:

• Use structured prompts to get clearer, more reliable outputs
• Ask questions across your Microsoft 365 content, based on what you already have access to
• Identify themes, gaps, risks, and action points across documents, emails and Teams conversations
• Refine outputs with quick critique prompts so you stay the human in the loop

‍

Module 4:

Scaling up with agents and workflows

‍

This module introduces Copilot Agents and when they add value over one-off prompts.

You will learn:

• What an Agent is and when (not to) use one
• How to build, test, and share a simple Agent for repeatable work
• How Pages and Workflows Agents help you chain tasks and reduce repeat admin
• What Copilot Studio adds, and when it is relevant for more complex workflows

The emphasis is on sustainable value, controlled automation.

Copilot Hackathon (9 Jul)

One week after the course, we’re hosting a bonus session where you can bring your own projects and we’ll help you turn them into simple, repeatable workflows. No new features are introduced here - it’s 100% focused on getting your real-life tasks done.

During the session, you will:

• Fix and improve your workflows, making sure your prompts and digital assistants work exactly how you want.
• Turn your chores into templates, so you can handle recurring tasks with a single click.
• See how others are working, picking up useful shortcuts from colleagues in different roles.

By the end of the session, you’ll leave with:

• One big task fully set up and ready for you to use immediately.
• A library of your own prompts, tailored to the way you and your team actually work.
• The confidence to keep building, so you can find new ways to use Copilot on your own.

Our gift to you.
